{{quote|Saud Kruger are famed for their range of luxury passenger vessels. This is their top of the line vessel (although they do offer custom built vessels that are bigger) and is capable of carrying passengers in extreme comfort and elegance. For its size and class it's also quite capable of defending itself.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Orca''' is a large ship manufactured by Saud Kruger and is currently one of three known passenger ships, the others being the [[Beluga Liner]] and the as of yet unreleased [[Dolphin]].

As a passenger ship, it and it's bigger cousin, the Beluga Liner can carry the luxury suite cabins which can transport VIP's.

It handles far better than its official maneuverability rating might indicate, with a remarkably high turn rate combined with high acceleration, and even--unlike the Imperial Clipper, with similar maneuverability--a very powerful strafing ability. Its very weak shields, even weaker than those of the Clipper, combined with its large silhouette (easy target) hinder (but do not entirely prevent) attempts to use it as a serious combat ship, but fully geared and in skilled hands it makes for an extremely hard target or dangerously effective pirate.

==Notes==
* Initially decals could not be fitted. Now they can and even some basic paint jobs are available (Vibrant pack, Tactical pack, and Military pack)
* The Orca is the only ship in game that cannot fit a optimal sized shield. It requires a size 6 for optimal, but can only take a size 5 in one of the size 5 slots.
* The Orca sells for a 20% discount at Irkutsk in the Alioth system. (As Alioth is the political center of the Alliance, a system permit is required. Places to get such a permit include Rominger Dock in the 78 Ursae Majoris system. Look for the "Making Friends And Going Places" job on the Bulletin Board.)
* A 'fasten seatbelt' tone will sound in the cabin when using this ship's boost.
* According to the Newsletter #84, with 0.016% of players piloting it the Orca is the least popular ship in the game.

{{quote|The Fer-de-Lance is another classic design that has now been in production for two centuries. The ship became famous for its popularity with top business executives and wealthy bounty hunters, being a fast, well armed vessel, with luxurious accommodation and high quality components fitted as standard. Early models were built by Zorgon Peterson, but more recently, limited numbers have been upgraded by Saud Kruger in a rare collaboration, resulting in even more lavish creations, without spoiling the original design and specification requirements.|In-Game Description}}

The '''Fer-de-Lance''' is a heavy combat ship. The Fer-de-Lance's hull is a bit more resistant to smaller [[weapons]] than other ships of its class.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=120789&p=1873136&viewfull=1#post1873136 Sandro Sammarco in the Official Forums]</ref>

The Fer-de-Lance and the [[Anaconda]] are the only two [[ships]] capable of mounting the class 4 [[Plasma Accelerator]].
